To celebrate the publication of The Astrologer's Daughter on 23 July 2014, the first reader anywhere in the world to private message me with their postal details gets a personally signed copy and an (e) hug from Melbourne, Australia x

* COMP NOW CLOSED, congrats to Mel*

My newest YA crime, thriller, mystery novel is out today, 23 July 2014 in "real" and (e) formats.

It's set in my beautiful hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Hope you enjoy it x

Excited to let you know that "Mercy" will be free in the Apple store from 16 December 2014 to 14 January 2015.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and New Year x

Just sharing the beyond-beautiful cover of my latest YA novel, "The Astrologer's Daughter" because I'm a huge fan of the photographer, Jessica Lia, who is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Look up her gallery, you will not be disappointed. She has an amazing eye.

If you loved "Mercy" and the crazy genre mash-up of YA mystery / thriller with touches of paranormal and romance in that, grab "The Astrologer's Daughter" which is available in (e)book and Kindle now everywhere, and is coming out in the US in July 2015.

To celebrate the new print, ebook and Kindle editions of my crime/mystery/fantasy novel The Astrologer's Daughter, which is set in Melbourne's Chinatown but also at an intersection between our world and Mercy's world, I'm giving away a signed copy to the first two readers who can tell me which archangel from the Mercy series makes a cameo appearance in The Astrologer's Daughter? (hint: I've blogged about this before and their name starts with A)

I'll pick the first two readers who leave a comment with the correct name in it.

Competition closes 15 March 2019. I'll DM the winners for their postal details and happy reading!

The new audiobooks for Whiffy Newton in the Case of the Dastardly Deeds, Whiffy Newton in the Riddle of the Two-Tone Trousers and The Astrologer's Daughter (narrated by me!) are each now available from audiobook retailers like Audible, Storytel, Scribd, Kobo and AudioBookstore.

If you're planning a road trip with your 7 - 12 year old and they're into funny, crime/detective/mystery caper/heist novels in the vein of The Red Hand Gang, The Five Find Outers, Geronimo Stilton and Encyclopedia Brown, give the adventures of Whiffy, Paz and Doreen a whirl.

If you're looking for a crime/mystery/thriller novel with a touch of the paranormal/occult set in Melbourne, Australia and spoken in deadset Melbourne vernacular, The Astrologer's Daughter may be for you.

Audiobooks for Wraith and Afterlight will follow in the coming weeks, so watch this space. Happy listening!

To celebrate the new edition of Afterlight, my urban fantasy/crime/mystery/ghost story set in Melbourne, Australia, I'm giving away a signed copy of the first edition to two readers anywhere in the world who are the first to DM me via Goodreads.

Afterlight, like The Astrologer's Daughter, is linked to the Mercy universe and features a first glimpse of Daughtry from Wraith.

Giveaway closes on 15 August 2019.

Happy reading and creating x
